Filling Tax Declaration for Non-Resident

Hello,

I recently started the Golden Visa process and received my NIF in December 2024. I made my investment (in a fund) in February 2025, but the official GV application hasn’t been submitted yet by my lawyer. I haven’t been to Portugal so far, and I haven’t earned any income or received any dividends there.

My spouse and children don’t have NIFs yet.

When I log into the tax portal, I see a message saying I haven’t submitted a tax return for 2024. However, since I didn’t live in Portugal, had no income there, and only got my NIF at the end of 2024, I’m unsure whether I’m required to file anything.

When I try to fill out the declaration online, it asks for my spouse’s NIF, which we haven’t applied for yet.

I’d appreciate any clarification on whether I need to submit a tax return for 2024 in this situation.

Thank you!
